A Part Of Me - Self Harm

For my birthday,

I do not want flowers that would die 

And chocolates that are temporary

They'll be gone anyway 

All I want is a kit

Not a drum kit

Too big to be put anywhere

But a care kit

Specifically a self-harm care kit

It has non-contaminated sharps to cut with

Cotton balls and gauzes to clean my wounds with

Bandages that would actually fit the width of them instead of

The scissors in my pencil case,

The toilet paper,

And plasters that are just too small to contain one of them.

I want a gift from someone that knows my issues

to care about my scars.
